Managed to get a snap, not the best pic but you get the idea

I've never used their stuff, only ever heard bad things though, eBay spec quality had been mentioned a few times but that's just hearsay, not confirmed it myself.

Thanks buddy, just glad its not snowed!

Had a few hours underneath the car today after leaving the office early. Braving the Cold again but I can't wait any longer to get my HKS Exhaust on. Pulled the old one off, cant believe how much weight was in it compared to the HKS System,

Had a super productive day today. Got the Engine all strapped up and dropped the new Flexplate on, Then the Gearbox... ... and finally popped it back where it belongs Aside from being super cold, its all back in, so cold in fact, the Bonnet had frozen to the Grass lol Plumbing and Wiring left to connect now, then I can get my HKS Exhaust on

Engine and Gearbox are all ready to go. The only task left was to give the Engine bay a good Steam clean, looks a lot better under there now. Took a bit of work to shift all the Crud and Old Oil of the Sub Frame, well worth it though. Engine day tomorrow....

Nearly ready to go back in, just need to throw the Wiring Loom on and change the Gearbox Oil Seals. Aiming to have it fitted and running next weekend. Decided to painted up the Inlet Manifold. Threw a new HKS Oil filter on there too,

Making slow progress but we're getting there.... Changed all the main bottom end Gaskets, re sealed the upper and lower Sumps, Stripped and cleaned the Oil Pump and gave that a good clean too. Also cleaning up parts and giving things a lick of Paint as we go. Hoping to have her back together for the new year,

Got the rest of the Engine stripped down today, de-greased it all, gave it a lick of paint too. Just awaiting the bottom end Seal kit to arrive before I can start to rebuild it.

Been researching ITB's lately and am very interested. I dont know why, but there is something about a high revving 6 Pot ITB engine that makes the hairs on my arm stand on end.... lol Now before we go into it, I know its not cheap, especially for such minimal power gains. I do believe that think driving the wheels off a lower powered car can be more fun if not just as enjoyable as having power on tap from a Turbo... I found a guy in the US that is already on it though, looks brilliant Anywho, I have other bits to sort first as well as some saving to do.... For now, back with the Auto... Found these at work a while back, Transmission Oil Cooler from a Pajero. The OEM Rad is looking a bit worse for wear so may be opting for a Mishimoto Rad in the not too distant future. Will be hooking this up once the Engine is going back in. Will hopefully have it ready to go back in this weekend, fingers crossed...

If mine were on the road, i'd be looking for some Winter Tyres...!

That is awesome, i would love to one day own one of these....

You know the score...!

Finally, time to spend a few hours in the man cave stripping the Engine down for a clean, Paint and new Seals, Apologies for the crap quality Pic...! More to come soon,

The welds are spot on, always impressed with the quality of HKS stuff

Sitting at my computer at work the other day and I receive an email from the guys at HKS Europe. Attached are some special offers and I notice they had the Silent Hi-Power Cat-back system for a Mk4 Supra going pretty cheap. I just couldn't resist, after having the same system on my old MX-5, my mind was made up. Couple of days later, Granted, the Engine is in need of repairs, but I couldn't let it go... Chuffed to bits with it, cant wait to bolt it up and hear the new Exhaust note

Good stuff! I have just ordered myself a HKS Silent Hi-Power, cant wait for it to come although i'm not expecting it to be too loud

Looks like new! Hows it sound?

Finally got round to buying an OE Crank Pulley, thanks Josh!

So I have a nice Nardi steering wheel (Although i did rob it off my MX-5) Looking soooooo much better inside now, Before... .... After,

Another parts update, picked up the a new Flex Plate, A/T Fluid, Gearbox Input Shaft Seal, Propshaft Seal and some high Temp Engine paint

Thats the intention, I hate a dirty Engine & Engine bay

All in good time, once Chassis, Brakes, Wheels and Interior are sorted... lol

Hel Braided Brake hoses are here...! 

Thanks, will have a scout around, see if i can get one
